Good Herbs And Vitamins For Healthy Hair Growth

There is a lot of folk medicine about herbs that may be helpful for hair growth. There is also medical research on which vitamins can promote hair growth. Taking vitamin supplements or drinking the correct herbal teas may improve overall health and hair growth, and help you keep your hair looking good.


Sage








According to the Natural Hair Growth Herbs website, sage is a good choice for increasing hair growth. Sage is available as a tea or supplement to take by mouth, or as oil to apply directly to the scalp.


Vitamin B


Dr. George Obikoya in his article "Vitamins for the Hair" reports that folic acid and B6 are excellent vitamins for the hair. But taking a B-complex vitamin can be an even a better way to promote healthy hair growth.


Nettle


Nettle is another good herb for the hair, reports Natural Hair Growth Herbs. You can use it as a hair rinse, drink it as tea, take supplements or apply the oil to the scalp.


Vitamin C








Vitamin C is found in fruits and vegetables or as a supplement. This vitamin is an antioxidant, which protects against free radicals and infections that can impair hair growth.
